It offers a rich, sometimes dazzling surface, with its fine Venice locations, but its conception seems tentative.

The dialogue can be stagey and Venice is evoked at a tourist level, but it's beautifully photographed and Hepburn's loneliness and sadness look disquietingly real.

The film stacks up as promising entertainment -- with some reservations.

[Features] lovely performance from Hepburn at its centre.

Being Lean's favourite of his films this is undoubtedly worthy of attention.

Thanks to Hepburn's performance we can feel how this woman's past romantic disappointments have made a passionate affair seem so simultaneously appealing and frightening.

Audience Reviews for Summertime

Apr 19, 2016Katherine Hepburn plays Jane Hudson, an American who takes her first trip to Venice, Italy, in the 1955 David Lean film "Summertime." Hudson has a modest job in Akron, Ohio, and she tells everyone who will listen that she's saved up for years. Upon arriving in the city she meets several Americans and spends time with them getting to know the city, but when they go their separate ways as couples, Hudson starts to feel lonliness. Hudson then meets a charming Venetian antiques dealer in a shop named Renalto (Rossano Brazzi) and they begin a romance that lasts the remainder of her stay in Venice. The film was shot entirely on location in the city of Venice and the postcard like scenes are capitivating. Jack Hildyard would go on to work with Lean on "The Bridge on the River Kwai" in 1957 and in many ways this is an epic romance that would pave the way for the many films that would follow.Joseph B Super Reviewer

Apr 17, 2014Katharine Hepburn's trip abroad is far more eye opening and fulfilling to watch than any eating, drinking and praying that Julia Roberts does in later years. Her sense of romance rekindled in Venice is a joy to watch.John B Super Reviewer

Apr 25, 2008On the surface this is a romance with old maid Katharine Hepburn falling in love in Venice with a few twists and turns, however, under the superb direction of David Lean, the city of Venice actually becomes a character in the film. The exquisite cinematography makes you feel as if you have actually visited the city. A wonderful film going experience. A big screen delight.Anthony V Super Reviewer

Aug 05, 2007started off really well with katharine acting really strongly. the strongest i've seen her since philadelphia story. there was beautiful scenery and cinematography. once it got about a third of the way through though it started to go downhill. it didn't make it bad. it just came out of the realms of greatness and into averagenessSanity Assassin !
